Mean time between failure is not representative of real life experience. Ever. Also, the below-atmosphere internal pressure compared to stp and lower density of the gas makes head crashes a bigger problem than before. That's why you don't run hard disks in a vacuum - they wouldn't work.
It seems likely that running the head closer to the platter is one of the methods they are using to get the data density they want.
Disks we use now would not work at all in a vacuum. The heads "fly" over the platter using some gas-fluid physics to do it properly.
Those drives are going to fail a lot, helium is indeed hard as hell to keep contained. It leaks through a lot of materials that stop many other gasses.
If a kid can do it, you can bet both cheeks that an "enemy" nation-state can (and probably did) do it without detection. You should thank the kid for being so obvious about it, give him a job, and let him off the hook (unless he seriously did damage, in which case make him pay for the damages for the first few years of his new job).
Just imagine if it were a whole server of "personal" email with possibly classified information on it. That would certainly be a crime on both sides now wouldn't it?
You still need to refine and filter used grease to make bio diesel. That costs money on the small scale and oil prices have been dropping lately.
Yet, theft of that type of grease is rampant around where I live. People steal grease then process it into fuel (or more likely, put it in their own dumpsters to make more money off the recyclers.)
There are locks and security cameras pointing at them in a lot of places now.
It seems like the chance of messing up whatever cargo it was (say, a commsat) is pretty high with an aborted mission to the point it's better to avoid damage to the pad and other stuff on the ground. If you are taking fuel, food, or supplies up then the cargo is only worth something when it's in space. A tank of oxygen can be replaced easy enough.
But if you have people on board, there is good reason to get the vehicle over land where ejection seats can be used at low velocity and decent height.
Getting second stage cargo into low speed over land state is going to be very helpful for people.
We can't even create a colony on the moon, which is many times closer would be much easier to support. All this talk about Mars is just political posturing, because the moon has already been claimed (unless you think it was all a big hoax lol)
And once someone sets foot on Mars, all this will stop and we will worry about Venus/mercury/Jupiter next. Just human stupidity.
Moon? Hell. There isn't ability to have a decent colony at either of the poles. Places that are MUCH easier to live than other solar system bodies. People living in those places don't have the economic power to be independent.
When you look at it like practical useful goods and services, good portions of this planet don't have the means to be independent. And they aren't.
Nobody is going to be able to predict this, and nobody is going to be able to give independence because any organization that has the means to get people and stuff to another planet in any quantity is going to be very powerful. When the colony can shake that off, is when the time is right.
Anyway, it'll never happen. We aren't getting off this rock in any real sense ever. I choose to intellectually masturbate about other subjects as a result. Now... let's talk about femm-bots.
I work in the industry. I can tell you that the size is due to the display. It's not primarily due to heat dissipation. The manufacturers are convinced (based on trends and sales) that people want big phones with 5" or larger screens.
Yup. Big screens are easier for older folks to see, and easier for bigger folks to poke at with fingers.
Young, pajama boy pussy millennials might want or appreciate a small phone for their skinny jeans... but other people that actually have money to spend on a phone don't.
Because you're not willigly sharing pictures of yourself, instead some pictures are being shared without your consent.
A private business can employ CCTVs on its premises, but it should not be able to share the videos with anyone else (but the police) without consent from the people in those videos. Doing so is a major privacy violation.
So? They can put up a sign. "Premises under video surveillance."
You don't own the rights to the images by any means at all. The photographer does.
Easy. Only accessible through a wired connections. DONE!
Couldn't they just put that in the requirements?
Chances are the cars will have a way to communicate between themselves to coordinate maneuvers and keep out of one another's way. Which means wireless and a place to get into them.
Yeah I was going to mention (this is a good enough spot) the attraction of these cars is the driver gets to do something ELSE besides drive. Read, talk, text, watch videos or something. Around here, they'd be bought by people that don't want to get a second DUI. (Another question that would have to be sorted out.)
Not being actively but minimally involved with the car by holding the steering wheel is going to put people to sleep and make a "push the button to prove awake" thing needed. Which is WORSE than just driving the damn car from an "OMG this drive sucks!" point of view.
CA will just about kill the market for the cars with the rules they are implementing.
You have never backed with a 53ft trailer, have you?
You should watch more TV. There is a current production run pickup truck that does button push backing of boat trailers into the water. You can buy one NOW. TODAY.
The problem you are worried about has already been solved.
My lease includes provisions about not running a business out of the apartment. (Though, the previous guy did with full knowledge of the landlord and I assume permission.) I fully understand why a landlord would not want AirBNB or other stuff like that going on. I sure don't like strange people hanging out around the grounds when it's unusual, having it on a daily basis would be very aggravating.
On the plus side, Facebook is very helpful for creating spare burner personas. If someone has a Facebook profile with a few stock photos and randomly liked posts most people and web sites seem to assume they are real. You can create a few of them so they have friends and to use later.
When you are finished with a persona, don't forget it kill it off and set up a memorial page. It makes the others look even more real when they like posts about friends dying.
The stupid part is Facebook has a huge problem with fake accounts spamming comment areas of news and other types of web sites that they can't seem to stop. Yet they go after their bread and butter.
They could easily solve this by saying "WE want to know who you are, but we don't care what your profile says." A good half of the people on my friends lists use fake or incomplete or names with nicknames in them. It's never been a problem. I either don't care who they are or already know who they are because I know them in person.
The force the real name thing didn't work for Google, it's not going to work for Facebook either.
Even services facing just the LAN/DMZ should sanitize their inputs. If an attacker manages to compromise one host, don't make it easy to compromise the rest.
It's likely that the user agent string was not considered "input" any more than the IP address in the log is.
Even now, among clueful people, there are those that don't realize the user agent in a browser can be arbitrarily changed.
Most dogs don't bark much without a good reason when they've grown up a bit. It's not worth starting a feud that can escalate instead of wearing earplugs every now and again for a few months or running an electric fan next to your bed at night.
Absolute unmitigated bullshit.
You know goddamn nothing about dogs, or are a very stupid and irresponsible dog owner.
Dogs, a large percentage of them, bark for lots of reasons including none. There _was_ a squirrel up that bush last year, "barkbarkbark", the wind is blowing "barkbarkbark".
WTF is that thing? Is that a bullpup shotgun with two barrels? How'd they even get the barrels long enough (I think the minimum shotgun barrel length is 16" for it not to be a "sawed off" shotgun which is highly illegal without some special license)? And does it fire both barrels or alternate? Wacky. I've never heard of the manufacturer either, which seems worrisome.
The DP-12 meets minimum length standards (even without the breecher chokes installed.)
Pumping loads both barrels from separate and non-cross-over tube magazines. (Ejection comes down under the stock.)
Pulling the trigger fires one barrel, pulling the trigger again fires the other barrel.
It's perfectly legal federally, but might have issues in various states. (Check your state laws, but generally if you are in a repressive / fascist state, you already know.)
The main drawback of the firearm is it's cost, 1400 to 2000 bucks. Also, as with all bull-pup firearms, extra care in handling is needed so you do not blow your own foot / hand off. Noobs should use regular length firearms, not stuff like this.
Not uncommon.
It's 2am, the neighbors dog has been non-stop for hours and this is a nightly occurance. Discussions with the neighbor about it nearly lead to blows.
So yes, you call the police and do things the right way vs a poison meal or a suppressed.22lr
The FUN ( Slashdot approved method ) would be to build an ultrasonic generator in the 130db range. Put it on a remote switch or auto-trigger when the barking starts and that problem will fix itself quite quickly.
Amazon.com has several models of ultra-sonic dog barking trainer tools you can place near the dog. Most are disguised as something else.
No need to build anything, the chinese have already made it simple and affordable to purchase.
Are you sure they did? I _think_ they did, because mass-surveillance is unsuitable for preventing terrorism or crime, but by now I have really started to wonder whether they are really that incapable.
Re-frame your reference.
The truth is, they don't WANT to stop this type of violence. They USE those events to further steal rights away from regular law-abiding citizens.
I just saw a famous feminist dox some guy on facebook because he used the word "slut" online. She tattled to his employer (an apartment complex). He was fired the next day. Can't remember her name. Clemintine Ford or some shit like that.
Just put your money under your bed, you'll get better interest rate, right now the real interest rate is negative.
Don't use a bank, simple.
You still have to contend with inflation with cash.
With an account, you have fees.
In a lot of ways you are better off buying non-perishable commodities that you will use eventually. Most of the time the price goes up as somewhat of a hedge against inflation. That way you can purchase utility now for price X where it will be used when it is costing price X plus Y fudge factor.
Some 30 years ago the ATMs on the west coast went toes up. Seems a backhoe had dug up a line on the east coast, without that line ATMs didn't work. Doesn't the dumbass bank have redundancies, you ask? Turns out the dug up line was the backup. A week earlier a heavy snowstorm had collapsed the roof of a building that banks needed to run the network.
That was most if not all of the entire US. (Or, a similar outage happened in '88 or so.)
What's wrong with cash? Or is that too independent / liberty-y for the brits? Using two banks just doubles your risks of card / account / user/pass getting stolen.
If you go the "two banks" route, check which core processor they use for their accounting first. In the US, there are about 5 companies that smaller institutions use to run their account and transaction data. If the breach is one of the core processors, you don't want to have your two redundant banks on the same processor.
Of all the things to worry about, "my bank was breached" is pretty low on the list. Do brits lack something like the FDIC / NCUA?
Here's something that's real that you can do with only a minor inconvenience...
You could stop eating meat. It would improve your health and help the environment. Eating meat has the environmental impact equivalent to all of the driving you do.
